The cause is usually a child younger than 3 years old biting an electrical cord. An eleven-month-old girl admitted to the emergency room with perioral electrical burn after biting an electrical cable of a television. Her burn area included 60% of the lower lip, down to the mentum, and including left commissure, distal part of the tongue and the floor of the mouth. On the 8th day following the burn, the burned necrotic tissues separated from the healthy living tissues and a bleeding from the labial artery was observed. To reconstruct the lip defect, an inferior-based nasolabial flap from the lateral side was used. The mucosa of the flap was dissected and advanced to form the lower lip vermillion. With this case presentation, the principles and options for perioral electrical burns are presented.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessburnselectricchildpreschoollip/injuriesperioral electrical burnArticle14432632918988059WOS:000259385100013N/A
